Midnight.

The inky blue sky is washed like clear water. There is no moon, no clouds, a blue sky, only twinkling stars, on the grassland, oily green grass, not mixed with a little gold, when the night breeze blows, it forms a spectacular green ocean.

These scenery were presented in front of Huayun one by one.

Riding on his horse, he did not rush forward, but on the contrary, he carefully identified the traces left by the chariot on the grass.

The imprint of the wheels left on the grass is deep!

What does this mean?

This means that the things pulled on those carriages are heavy, and it is very likely that they are the gold coins that were lost in their casino!

"Did the Northern Governor's staff say anything when they left?"

The commander guarding the city shook his head, after all, the other party was the confidant of the Northern Governor, how could a little commander of his own dare to ask.

"......" Hua Yun suddenly hesitated.

According to common sense, it is very difficult to transport such a large amount of gold coins, and it is impossible to stay in the imperial capital, but ...... If it was really Hualong who did it, then was his action too idiotic?

Why did you choose to leave the Imperial Capital of Cold Moon in the middle of the night? And why did you leave the Imperial Capital of the Cold Moon in the middle of the night? And the time of leaving the Imperial Capital coincided with the time when the Marshal's gold coins were lost?

All these doubts seem to point to one answer - trap!

That's right, this must be a trap, the gold must still be in the imperial capital, and the staff of the Northern Governor must have deliberately lured me out of the city, so that the people lurking in the city will have time to transfer the gold coins! That's right!

Hua Yun's eyes suddenly burst out with two rays of light!

"Pass my order!" Hua Yun suddenly grabbed the reins and shouted: "Block the streets, give me a door-to-door search!"

"Yes!"

Hua Long, your horse's feet are finally revealed! Hua Yun laughed coldly and muttered, "Your cleverness is of no use to me......!"

......

Ten minutes later, on the Goethe plain.

The convoy from the south gate of the empire made its way slowly westward, as quiet as the silent night.

The team consisted of seventeen wagons, sixteen of which were used to haul goods, and the remainder was one in which Tarex was riding, and incidentally, it was Arley and a hundred guards who escorted the supplies.

"Staff?"

Commander Are, who had been a little worried, finally couldn't help it.

“......”

"You said, there are no gold coins in our carriage, will Huayun chase after them?"

In fact, as Arei knew, the sixteen wagons were full of grain, and because there were more of them, the weight was quite heavy.

Yes, Huayun, will they chase after them? If not...... If......

However, Tarex did not make these "if" assumptions, because he knew that Huayun would definitely come, definitely!

"The smarter a person is, the more blindly confident they will be, and this self-confidence will eventually lead to not playing the cards according to the usual rules. He said coldly, expressionless.

“......”

......

As Tarex had said, Hua Yun had really come after him, and not only that, but he had brought a hundred cavalry, three hundred infantry, and in addition, another contingent of equal numbers was making a detour from the other direction, surrounding Tarex's convoy.

For Huayun, it is only a matter of time before they catch up with the convoy, and they can't run away!

On the other hand, the right to mobilize the defenders was unique to the Governors of the North and South, so Krezer rode closely with Hua Yun.

I really don't understand him, he clearly said that he was going to search the city before, but when he turned around, he said that he would go out of the city to chase after him, what the hell is going on? Although Kratzer had a belly of complaints, he didn't dare to say it, but looking at Hua Yun, he was full of confidence.

"I said Commander Huayun, what is the basis for you to do this?"

The vast grassland, the cool night breeze, and the pleasant chirping of insects all failed to calm Krezer's irritable mood, and after moving forward for a while, he still couldn't help but ask Hua Yun questions.

"You want to ask me, you know that there is a trap outside the city, but why do you chase it out, right?"

"That's right!" Although Kratzer didn't have much ability, he still had some brains, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sit in the position of Nandu, "Do you have any purpose in doing this?"

Hua Yun suddenly laughed.

"Do you know the truth in the art of war that fiction is real, and reality is fiction?"

"Are you saying that the other party deliberately exposed his position, in fact, he calculated that we would not pursue?" Krizer gradually understood what Hua Yun meant, but this did not mean that he agreed with Hua Yun's order to attack, if it was ......

"That's right!"

"It's ridiculous, that staff member named Tarex is your eldest brother's henchman, and your eldest brother is just an idiot who likes to grow flowers, how could he go to ransack gambling ......" Kruser didn't dare to continue, because he had already noticed Dao Huayun's angry face.

"You don't know him at all!"

And how much do you know?, Krezer muttered.

"What if we catch up with the convoy ahead and find that it doesn't have what we're looking for?" Frazer's tone was less like an inquiry, but like a teacher who had taken an exam.

"You can rest assured. Hua Yun looked confident, "I have already ordered martial law in the city to block the streets, if the carriage containing gold coins is really still in the city, then it will not dare to act rashly, even if we chase the wrong one, it is a big deal to return to the city to investigate." ”

He thought about it very comprehensively and carefully! Hua Yun's words dispelled Kraser's concerns, since both sides can't run away, then concentrate on what is in front of him.

After half an hour of rapid marching, Hua Yun's vanguard spotted the convoy ahead.

"My lord, a convoy was found a kilometer to the southwest. The cavalry who turned back immediately reported.

"Surround him!" Lake ordered unceremoniously.

"Huayun. ”

"Huh?"

"What if the carriage is really filled with gold coins?"

"What do you want to say?"

"If it's really a gold coin, then this matter is related to your eldest brother, what will you do?"

Hua Yun suddenly smiled coldly, "Isn't that good?"

Hua Yun's smile exuded a strong killing intent, as if telling Kratzer that no matter who it was, he could kill it without mercy!

What a terrible man, Kraser turned his head, apparently already scared.

......

In a few moments, a hundred cavalry surrounded the caravan of horses, while the infantry that followed filled the gap between the cavalry and strengthened the iron bucket array a few more points.

A short standoff!

It should be considered a confrontation, right?

The soldiers under the Northern Governor didn't even have weapons, and when they saw a group of troops from the Cold Moon Empire surrounding them, they were still at a loss, completely unaware of what was going on, while on the contrary, the soldiers under the Southern Governor looked murderous.

There was a moment of stalemate, and Tareux in the carriage stepped down.

He didn't say anything, but just performed the usual courtesy to Hua Yun and Krazer, who were riding on tall horses, as a sign of respect.

"What's in the wagon?" questioned Krezer.

"Grain. ”

"Grain?" Kraeer snorted disdainfully, and then gestured to the soldier beside him, who dismounted and walked briskly to the canvas-covered carriage, but the soldiers of the Northern Governor's guard did not seem to be too reluctant to let him check.

"Don't you want me to show it, or is there something else in it?"

Grain? How can it be food? Your lies are so naïve! Am I the Governor so idiot that you are deceived?

"Of course not. Tarex turned and nodded to his subordinates, and soon, the guards stepped aside.

The soldier lifted the canvas of one of the carriages, revealing the pockets inside. The soldier pulled out his dagger and looked back at Nandu again before stabbing one of the pockets, only to ......

The rice of the white flowers immediately flowed out.

Is it really rice?!

Hua Yun's first feeling immediately was that he had been fooled! No, his judgment was wrong! This incident had nothing to do with Hua Long in the first place, maybe it was just a coincidence.

"A few more!" Krezer also looked disappointed, but he was still a little unwilling.

Not long after, the soldier stabbed about twenty bags of rice, which turned out to be full of rice.

"What are you carrying so much rice in the middle of the night?" asked Kraser, angrily.

"During the arms purchase meeting, His Majesty, in order to prevent the displaced people from begging in the city to affect the impression of the distinguished guests, distributed rice to them, and this was part of it. ”

Tarex uses His Majesty as a shield, of course, this is all a lie, but only a person like Tarex dares to tell such a lie, and his face is not red or breathless.

"Your Majesty?" Krazer was obviously a little unconvinced, but seeing that the other party was so calm, it didn't look like he was lying, "Why haven't I heard?"

"There's a lot more you haven't heard of. If you don't believe me, ask Your Majesty tomorrow. ”

“......”

Krizer was inevitably unhappy, "Then why send it at night? Can't it be done during the day?"

"My lord, it's dog days, the temperature is high, the nights are cool, and things are more efficient, isn't it the same for adults?"

Some of the soldiers burst out laughing quietly.

If it weren't for his identity, Kreeser would really want to rush up to him and "Hmph, let's go!"

“......”

And from beginning to end, Hua Yun didn't say a word, but his gaze never left Tarrix.

Moments later!

"Staff, they're gone. ”

Commander Are's notice that Tarex breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the pressure Huayun had put on him was indeed unusual.

"My lord, are the gold coins still in the city?"

“......”

......

In the middle of the night, a young girl ran in a panic, tired, she stopped in the alley to rest for a while.

"We meet again, Miss Da Aprile. ”

......

At dawn, the sky was bright.

Prime Minister's Mansion, the bed in the bedroom of the villa.

Xue Ya, who was half-asleep and half-awake, touched the position next to her with her hand, as if she was looking for something, but after touching it for a long time, she found that the side was empty.

What about people? What about husbands and others?

Xue Ya hurriedly sat up and searched carefully, but the bed was so big, how could it be possible to hide someone? A disappointed expression appeared on her delicate cheeks, "It turned out to be just a dream, I really thought it was ......"

"Why don't you sleep more?"

Hua Long's voice suddenly came from nearby.

"Huh?" Xue Ya suddenly exclaimed in surprise, in her sight, there was no second person in the entire room, so where did Hua Long's voice come from?" "Husband, where are you?"

"This. ”

"Where?"

"Here. ”

A hand suddenly stretched out under the bed and shook it.

Xue Ya sat down on the edge of the bed, and then she realized that her husband was sleeping on the carpet, and his posture was a little funny.

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Hua Long just smiled and didn't speak, Xue Ya immediately understood the reason for the matter: she must have kicked him down when she was sleeping, right?

Her face immediately turned red.

"Xueya. ”

"Huh?"

"Would you like to help me plant flowers?"

"Hmm!"

......

"Have you heard?"

"What?"

"Is it Miss Xue Ya and Young Master Hua Long?"

In the early morning, the rich blue of the night seems to be soaked in water droplets, and gradually turns into aquamarine color, and by the artificial lake on the left side of the Prime Minister's Villa, two maids are busy cleaning up fallen leaves and debris, and chatting from time to time.

"What can they do?"

"Don't you know, this is a big deal!" The maid said mysteriously, "Miss Xue Ya and Young Master Hualong have a very bad relationship, I heard that they haven't had that ...... after half a year of marriage."

"Hey, isn't it?" the companion was clearly not convinced.

"Don't you believe it?" Seeing her suspicion, Maid A was quite upset, "What I said is true, I swear, otherwise, I ......" She looked around, and finally her eyes fell on the trash can in her hand, "If I tell a lie, then I will eat this garbage." ”

Just when the two maids are going toe-to-toe......

"Husband, come with me to buy something this Sunday. ”

On the arched bridge built on the artificial lake, Xue Ya, who was wearing pajamas, was holding her husband's arm in one hand, and holding a large bouquet of bright roses in the other hand, her face was full of sweetness, and Young Master Hualong, who had always reacted calmly, also had a faint smile today.

The maid A was stunned, and the garbage in her hand was scattered all over the ground at some point.

"Hey, it's time for you to eat. The companion on the side reminded unceremoniously.

......

Breakfast time.

The table covered with snow-white tablecloth was not filled with a wide variety of delicacies as usual, on the contrary, everyone only had two or three things in front of them, and even the appetizer soup was replaced by a very ordinary clear soup instead of the original superb bird's nest.

"Mother, where's Grandpa?"

Xue Ya and Hua Long walked in together and saluted the Countess, who was already seated.

When did their relationship become so good? The Countess was quite surprised, although she was Xueya's mother, she still knew this wayward and stubborn daughter very well, but today......

"Mother?"

"Oh, your grandfather just went out today, as if he was summoned by His Majesty temporarily. Speaking of this, she seemed to remember something, "Hua Long, your grandfather asked you to gather the defenders at the south gate at ten o'clock, and prepare to welcome the Marshal of the Fire Empire, Rufis, there will be many big nobles present, and the law and order must be maintained." ”

Hua Long nodded suddenly, and then sat down.

Seeing that the maid pulled out the chair opposite, Xue Ya was anxious, and hurriedly pointed to the position next to Hua Long and said, "Wait a minute, I'm going to sit next to my husband." ”

Husband?

Not only the servant, but everyone in the hall, including the countess, was stunned. This was the first time they had heard Xue Ya call Hua Long her husband.

At first glance, it does sound awkward enough.

"What's wrong?" Xue Ya asked angrily.

The servant hurriedly shook his head, and then arranged a place next to Hua Long, and Xue Ya sat down happily.

The meal was very pleasant, Xue Ya kept her husband screaming for a long time, which made people feel the happiness and warmth of a newlywed, and the countess was also relieved, it seems that she doesn't have to worry about this silly girl.

"Husband, it's still early, what are you going to do?"

"I have an important thing to do. Hua Long smiled.

......
